Transport and Road Infrastructure Upgrade for Northern Suburbs

The State Government is making a significant $800 million investment, to upgrade transport and road infrastructure in Perth’s Northern suburbs.

The METRONO plan will create thousands of jobs, with construction companies being invited to get involved.

The construction of Thornlie and Yanchep rail extensions are at the forefront and other upgrades include improvements to Wanneroo Road, Marmion Avenue and Stevenson Avenue, in an effort to ease congestion.

“Anyone who lives in the north will know that in the morning, the congestion is diabolical. We want to improve that by putting in place better rail access and better roads to meet the needs of the people in the north,” said Premier, Mark McGowan.

The Forrestfield Airport Link project has already begun construction and will create 2,000 jobs over the life of the project.
